public Integer q{get; set;}

public pageReference placeOrderForSinglePro()
  {
    Id Prodname=ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Pname');
    Decimal Proprice = Decimal.valueOf(ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('price'));
   if(!(n!=null))

Hi Arati,

Please try adding required attribute to your field:
<apex:inputfield required="true" value="" />

Hi Arati, 

use below code snippet
 
public class EComm_Bucket_Controller 
{
public String n{get; set;}
public String a{get; set;}
public Integer q{get; set;}

public pageReference placeOrderForSinglePro()
  {
    Id Prodname=ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('Pname');
    Decimal Proprice = Decimal.valueOf(ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('price'));
   if(n == null || q == null || n == null)
   {
   ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'Please enter values in all fields.');
	ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
	return null;
   }else
   {
    EOrder__c ord=new EOrder__c(EP_del__c=Prodname,
                                OQuantity__c=q,
                                Contact_Name__c=n,
                                Delivery_Address__c=a,
                                Order_Status__c='Placed',
                                Total_Order_Ammount__c=q*Proprice );
    insert ord;
	ApexPages.Message myMsg = new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.Info,'Record Created successfully.');
	ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
